Alexandria Walker (nee Stavrapoulos), now manager of the Patriots Cheerleaders, has redesigned the team's signature uniform.  Read an article about it here.

I wonder if that's why they don't have the 2022-23 team bios up yet. Seems like a few pro teams have changed the uniform since they started taking male cheerleaders.

I really like the symbolism of 6 stars (for 6 super bowls) and 11 buttons (for 11 AFC championships). But I'm sorry - when I see those shorts, all I think is DCC. 

I liked the design of the old uniforms. I wish she would have just incorporated some of that symbolism as updates to the old uniform

Is that the Alexandria that left mid term?

Yes she is

" Spent some time cheering for the Dallas Cowboys". What a load of BS. She left after 1 or 2 games.

Milan was the one you could say left mid term.

I've felt that Alexandria just wanted to see if she could make another team and wasn't really serious about actually staying at all.  She went into auditions knowing that her SO's family member had health issues and that it could change at any time so why did she go all the way to Dallas to audition and cheer when there were quite a few East Coast teams that she could audition for if she was serious about dancing for another team?  I also think she used the health issue as a convenient reason to cut and run.  

She's happier where she is then she ever would in Dallas.

Particularly since she’s the Pats cheerleaders’ manager.  That’s not a role she more than likely wouldn’t have been offered had she had a long tenure as a DCC.

Also, the unis do look 1776-ish.  I like the jacket, it’s a throwback that works.

With all due respect she would not have that job had the former manager not passed away. I don’t think she went to Dallas for that job. I also understand how Dallas may not have been for her. I’m in Boston & it may as well be another planet compared to Dallas. I don’t mean to sound defensive but she gets so much hate. She tried it, it wasn’t for her she left. That doesn’t make her a bad person. I respect that she did what was best for her…

No, it doesn’t. But not finishing the season out at least, is a joke.  Especially as a former NFL cheerleader.   It does leave a bad taste in my mouth because it took a spot from someone that had all the heart for it… Brennan. 
Sorry I never liked Alexandra. I’m not 100% buying the family emergency crap. The second they starting talking about her remodeling that house with her “Tom Brady” wannabe fiancé/boyfriend, I was like “what is that girl doing moving to Dallas for”!  I knew it from jump that she was going to bolt. I also never saw what they saw on her looks. Sorry, her eyes were very reptilian to me.  Kelli, give her back the long full lashes please!

I’m surprised it doesn’t have the knot tie type top á la DCC.

Those outfits just remind me of a sexy Hamilton Halloween costume.

Although it’s a blue jacket, it still leans British Redcoat to me vs a revolutionary Patriot (no offense UK 😆).  And when can we evolve past the go-go boot? Although I have no idea what they’d use instead.

The uniform may be iconic but it is not like the DCC one where you don’t have to keep adding buttons when they win. Why not have it divided down each button plaque so easy to add an additional button.  No stars for the guys?

The guys stars are down the side of the pants

I agree with you about the sick family member excuse but I heard it was the mean girl attitude in the locker room all rumors of course… I laughed about her fiancé bc as much as I adore her he seemed like a big douche with that man bun…

They get new uniforms every few years, so I don't think it will be an issue.

Plus, I'm terrible at predicting things, but I don't see this unform lasting in it's current form for more than a year or two. It will go the way of the jets cheerleaders' ruffled underpants and the colts cheerleaders' horrible one-piece dresses.

I might be all my lonesome but I am not a fan of the new Patriot's uniforms.  All I can think is how hot that high collared jacket is going to be that many hours dancing for a game. 

The white camel toe shorts with the stars are another problem entirely.

My immediate thought the first time I saw the new unis was "I don't love it." I couldn't put my finger on why. There was something I didn't care for with the jacket, and you've nailed it. It's the high collar. It looks so uncomfortable.  It also looks like the jacket would be shifting around and flapping open while they dance. I gather they've designed it so it won't move, but it still bothers me. 

The other thing is, if you take away the jacket, this is extremely basic and boring. The stars on the waist are a little too on the nose for a former DCC.

And finally, the men's uniform, the top especially is a no for me, dawg. This is the second men's costume they've had that looks like a figure skating outfit. The wonky collar and the mesh sleeve inserts are fussy and the crystals across the chest look like a heart shape. Why didn't the guys get a jacket over a red tank?

It looks like it's attached so it doesn't flap open, that would be EXTREMELY annoying!
